You took my heart and you held it in your mouth And with a word all my love came rushing out And every whisper, it's the worst, Emptied out by a single word There is a hollow in me now
So I put my faith in something unknown I'm living on such sweet nothing But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn And it's hard to love When you're giving me such sweet nothing Sweet nothing, sweet nothing You're giving me such sweet nothing
[Beat break]
It isn't easy for me to let it go Cause I've swallowed every single word And every whisper, every sigh Eats away this heart of mine And there is a hollow in me now
So I put my faith in something unknown I'm living on such sweet nothing But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn And it's hard to love When you're giving me such sweet nothing Sweet nothing, sweet nothing You're giving me such sweet nothing
[Beat break]
And it's not enough to tell me that you care When we both know the words are empty air You give me nothing
